This afternoon I was sitting at my desk at work and wishing I was somewhere else. I was listening to some of Megafaun’s studio work for the first time. I heard a banjo riff and I thought, “Wow, that sounds like the Deadly Nightshade Family Singers. Hey, I know, I should write about the Deadly […]

By Mel on April 12, 2011
Like Sarah, I was fortunate enough to catch the Mountain Goats and Megafaun last week. She wrote a great review. You should read it. Right now. I’ll wait.
